: It defines the allowable variations in thickness, width, length, and flatness for plate, sheet, and strip. For instance, thickness tolerances depend on both the width and nominal thickness of the plate; larger widths typically allow for larger tolerance ranges.
: It sets the bar for uniform quality, ensuring materials are free from imperfections that would interfere with fabrication, such as stamping or machining. Why the PDF Version is Vital
The full title of the standard is "Standard Specification for General Requirements for Flat-Rolled Stainless and Heat-Resisting Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip". It establishes a uniform group of requirements that apply to several other specific ASTM material standards, such as ASTM A240 (for pressure vessels) and ASTM A666 (for annealed or cold-worked austenitic stainless steel).
